N1-D - Forêts dunaires caducifoliées de l'Atlantique et de la Baltique

Atlantic and Baltic broad-leaved coastal dune forest

Classification des habitats EUNIS 2022

Descriptif de l'habitat

A forest type with a wide range of variation, comprising a diversity of relatively open to closed forests on Atlantic and Baltic coastal dunes. It develops where more stable coastal sands are invaded by broadleaved trees typical of the local soil and climatic conditions. It includes forests in dry and wet conditions, on calcareous and acidic sands and along the climatic gradient from southern Norway and the Baltics towards central Portugal. Many of these forests are indistinguishable in their floristic composition from inland examples of the same general type.
